HMS Bergbau AG, a leading independent commodities trading and marketing company based in Germany, has announced a video conference to present its half-year figures for 2026. The event, scheduled for October 8, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. CET, will feature CEO Dennis Schwindt and CFO Jens Moir, who will discuss the company's financial performance and recent developments. Investors and media representatives are invited to register for the webcast, which will be conducted in German, via this registration link. A Q&A session with the Management Board will follow the presentation.
The half-year results reveal a substantial increase in revenue, rising from EUR 0.64 billion in the prior-year period to EUR 1.1 billion (IFRS). EBITDA also saw a sharp uptick, climbing from EUR 8.4 million to EUR 22.5 million, though this includes one-off items totaling EUR 8.4 million from the first-time consolidation of the mining company Hoshoza Resources Vryheid in South Africa. Adjusted for these effects, operating EBITDA stood at EUR 14.1 million, reflecting robust underlying performance. The company attributes this growth to positive momentum in its traditional bulk commodities business and its newer liquid fuels and lubricants segment, established in 2025.
This announcement is significant as it underscores HMS Bergbau AG's expanding role in global commodity markets and its successful diversification strategy. The consolidation of Hoshoza Resources Vryheid not only boosts financial metrics but also enhances HMS's access to high-quality reserves, strengthening its competitive position. The strong revenue and EBITDA growth, even when adjusted for one-off items, signal operational efficiency and rising demand across its business lines. For investors, the upcoming webcast provides a direct opportunity to assess management's outlook and the sustainability of this growth trajectory.
